"There is a remarkable amount of agrarian history and knowledge in our community — thinkers, artisans, makers, and creatives who want to make the world a better place, who see sustainable living and social justice as a necessity. Our workshops bring this community together to learn from one another. And there is so much to learn! Be it herbalism, fermenting & preserving, healing racism, organic soil management, CBD production, raising happy pigs, cut flower design, Lenape language — it is the process of listening and learning that moves us together and forward as a culture."
